Some sun, Sunday, and Seattle...what a great combination! We knew parking in the city would be difficult, so we got an early start. Tom found a free Sunday parking lot just down the street from the Seattle Aquarium.
Clouds...but no rain!
The Space Needle
The Seattle Aquarium - This was a great introduction to the sea life of the Northwest.
Sea Stars at the tide pool exhibit.
Green anemone - This is a hands on area, and I was able to feed the anemone. They grab the food with their sticky arms.
The large sea star is called a sun flower sea star.
Which way is up?
We saw the J Pod Orca Whales on our whale watching trip in Victoria.
Sea Pens
Urchins
Variety of corals
Salmon swimming up stream
The colors...wow!
This diver spotted me watching the morning feeding. Hello...
May the Octopus - In a few months she will be returned to Puget Sound.
Sea Otters playing
Puget Sound
Street along the Pike Place Market
Our parking spot was about four flights down. I returned to the unit to get Tom's hat, and I spotted him snapping a picture from above.
Starbucks
Pike Place Market vendors
The Pike Place Fish Company - home of the flying fish and the FISH philosophy.
Rachel the pig - Pike Place Market mascot
The Gum Wall...art or litter?
Puget Sound
Sculpture Park
Calder's sculpture, Eagle, and the Space Needle
The dogs enjoyed the stroll along the waterfront.
Clam chowder, fish tacos, and a cold one...very nice.
We covered two big attractions, the waterfront and Pike Place Market, but there is so much more to see in Seattle. A return visit is on our to do list.
Location:Seattle, Washington
